El Paso Association of Builders

What El Paso Association of Builders does

The El Paso Association of Builders (EPAB) is a nonprofit trade association founded in 1946 that serves as the collective voice for the residential construction industry in El Paso, Texas. It is structured as a federation affiliated with the Texas Association of Builders (TAB) at the state level and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) at the national level, providing members with coordinated advocacy across local (El Paso County, City of El Paso), state (Texas Legislature), and federal channels. EPAB operates from a single headquarters at 6046 Surety Drive, El Paso, Texas, with traditional weekday office hours and a small administrative staff. Its membership is divided into Builder Members (residential home builders ranging from one-home-per-year operators to high-volume builders) and Associate Members (banks, title companies, suppliers, manufacturers, and building specialists).

EPAB's core offerings include a tiered membership program, monthly and periodic print publications (Builders Outlook magazine and Your New Home/Su Casa Nueva Magazine), an annual calendar of networking and fundraising events (general membership meetings, golf tournament, trap shoot, Block Party, Installation Banquet, Cimarron Parade of Homes), and the Member Compass online portal for profile management, event registration, and invoice payment. Advocacy and government relations are positioned as the cornerstone service, addressing regulatory barriers, permitting, workforce development, and code issues affecting residential construction in the El Paso market.

EPAB's business model is membership-dues based (subscription/recurring) with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The go-to-market motion is community-led: prospective members are acquired through events, committee meetings, networking mixers, and direct advocacy engagement, with conversion reinforced by visible community service initiatives such as blanket donation drives for the Opportunity Center for the Homeless. Leadership is volunteer-based (President Victor Robles, VP Edgar Garcia, Secretary Anthony Murillo) supported by an ex officio Executive Vice President (Ray Adauto) and a small administrative function. There is no disclosed revenue, funding history, M&A activity, or AI/technology investment; EPAB operates as a stable, long-tenured local federation rather than a growth-oriented enterprise.
